GRANDE BURRITO DOS

Warmjets new 7'9'' Grande Burrito



This is the Velo template pulled out to 7'9''.



3'' thick then very foiled out .



Im MY, opinion Greg's boards have alot more to do with Bob Simmons basic ideas than what most people realize , kinda a missing piece of the Simmons / Malibu puzzle.



7'9'' n. 19'' w. 23'' t. 18'' are the dims after glassing.



S- Decked



One fin for Warmjet , Jdub has a 2 + 1 on the first GB.



The header shot is Kyle Albers on the first Liddle GB . photo Jdub
